If you were in the battle between the most feared man at school and you.What would your moves be?Do you think you would win the battle,or lose.All I knew was that it is a battle between the most feared man at school which would be my Coach Reeves for cross country and me.
His tricks had fooled me once again.I had to face my fears and explain to him why I could not do two sports at the same time.My two sports were cross country and soccer.I had communicate with my coach about the situation,but I was to afraid of him.


Basically it all started during a practice at Arroyo Verde, my legs were so tender after my soccer game on Sunday.They had felt paralyzed.I had first noticed the symptoms of soreness when I could not keep up with the top of the pack during warm-up.We were just running two laps around the park and can already feel his intimidating gaze go down my spine.I knew that I was going to be in deep trouble, I became panicked. He then called me over in the middle of my workout for hill reps. I can feel all my nerves come to me I was soon going to feel his devouring soul reveal in front of me.I came over and said “Yes-Coach” trying to recapture my breath after being under his menacing look. He said “Are you sore Natalie.” I knew that I could not lie to my coach especially Coach Reeves, he would later find out and put you on his cry for help list, which is where people that lie to him go. I did not want to be on that list so I had considered saying no, but I did not want him to think of me as someone who betrays the trust that had been given to me.So I had to explain to him why I should be doing both. For one soccer can get me the speed and competitiveness of playing soccer. For cross country it can get me the endurance and work that I need on my legs.At that moment I knew that this was the time that I was trying to avoid for a very long time.I had known that it was not going to last very long my fear had gotten to big that I thought that my coach was going to react dramatically to the situation. I had finally had the courage to tell him what was really going on.I had discussed with him that I had been playing to sports at the same time.At first it seemed like the most petrifing thing in the world,after I had conceled my thought into his mine.He had said “Natalie haven’t we discussed this before cross country season even started.” I had said “Yes coach we did discuss this, but soccer is what I live for, but cross country will always be my primary sport because soccer is not in season yet.” I then ended up finishing my work out and he asked for me to talk to him about the soccer situation later. The later had come and he ended up forgetting it which surprised me because he never forgets anything.A couple months had passed and then I had ran mostly all the invitational,and after that I had to go to my soccer game.The day after that I would be sore but I knew that I had to loosen up my body from the day before.I ended up having fun with all the people on cross country.It was fun having the cross country people in the race or off to the side cheering for you.They would all scream so loud and cheer for you which really helped in the race.I know everybody on the team and they are a great big joy to have with you,and to guide you through the course before you make mistakes on the course.I appreciate everyone on my team,I had never really noticed what a team was until I meet these wonferful , kind, generous and so much more kind of people.


In conclusion,do not lie to your coach about anything or he will find out one way or another.Curiosity can always get the best in people especially coach.
